Chapter 102 It’s time to give the world a surprise!
Are you more than 80% sure to defeat him?
After hearing what Ye Tian said, everyone in EDG had a look of half surprise and half joy on their faces.
certainly.
There is still some suspicion that is not well hidden.
It's not that Ye Tian's authority is not enough, or his record is not convincing.
But Khan is really too strong.
As the backbone of LCK's No. 1 seed Longzhu Gaming, Khan not only performed invincibly in the LCK division, but also served as both a veteran and a newcomer - someone who has been in the professional circle for many years and competed with top players from all walks of life. Experience, and the fighting spirit of having just competed in the Super League and forging ahead.
The two combined, just like the combination of South Korea with the US military and North Korea with sovereignty, complement each other in the aspects they lack, enough to explode an energy that cannot be ignored.
Don't look at it. Ye Tian led the EDG team to kill RNG in three games, and got out of the desperate situation of zero bars and three in the first round with a wave of four consecutive victories. He completed the promotion that only existed in theory, and his ranking on the official rankings is still the same. He was suppressed by Khan and Huni, but only surpassed SSG's CuVee.
The newly ranked No. 3 in the world said that he was 80% sure of defeating the No. 1 in the world... If Ye Tian was not a member of the EDG team, others would probably say that his tone was worse than athlete's foot.
"Then I'll go out on the road and catch them more."
The factory director used a very subtle statement.
"There is no need to catch them specially. Go at your own pace. If you can catch them, just catch them. If you can't catch them, don't do it deliberately."
Ye Tian didn't care about his teammates' suspicions: "When you meet LZ in a few days, don't feel any psychological pressure. Just show your usual level. Remember, I will lead you to fight!"
After finishing the Jiugongge hotpot.
The EDG team returned to the hotel, packed their bags, and headed to the venue of the quarter-finals.
——Guangzhou Gymnasium.
Considering that the flight takes nearly two hours and the high-speed rail takes more than four hours, the difference is not huge. Moreover, the high-speed rail has no air pressure changes and allows you to browse the scenery along the way, making the experience more comfortable, so the EDG club booked the starting five. In the business class carriage of the Harmony, Abu and Maokai accompanied Aguang and the staff in the first class compartment.
Board the high-speed rail.
Ye Tian turned on the live broadcast on his mobile phone and prepared to hang out for a while.
This kind of behavior is heinous for young anchors, and Shark Fighting TV will definitely deduct garbage time viciously in the background.
It may not be possible for big anchors to pass the test. Super management will basically remind them in private messages and give warnings.
Put it on Ye Tian...
With Ye Tian's performance of killing RNG three times in a row to win the LPL Summer Finals, and defeating SKT in the World Championship to advance to the quarterfinals, let alone showing up for a long time, even if they find someone to broadcast for them or even hang up with a black screen, Fighting Shark TV will have to smile and beg Ye Tian for help. Receive this month's salary.
not to mention.
Ye Tian is not just a fool.
Even if you don’t play LOL, the program is very effective.
"Want the anchor to comment on the quarterfinal matchup?"
"no problem."
Ye Tian's face was full of sincerity: "Let's talk about SKT first. If SKT beats European rabbit MSF, it will be a 100% crushing game. Everyone knows about the European and American teams. Every year in the World Championship, they are swept away like garbage by the Korean team. Go out, if the rabbit is not caught by Linglong Tower, it will be considered a success."
"WE vs. SSG, I definitely support and am optimistic about WE. SSG was defeated by RNG in the group stage. WE was able to fight RNG to the deciding game - it had the upper hand before losing the game. In comparison, WE should defeat SSG. Very easy.”
"RNG is under pressure to play FNC. The ancient champion + Europe's No. 1 seed are still strong. Europe's No. 1 top laner sOAZ, No. 1 mid laner Caps, and No. 1 AD Ou Cheng, none of them are weak."
【Makes sense】
[Awkward, RNG won’t be stressed when playing FNC, the top four are stable]
[Two LPL teams entered the semi-finals, which is good]
[How come only two teams made it to the semi-finals? EDG can't get in? 】
【EDG? Just type some LZ stuff]
[I heard someone said that he wants to win a championship without losing a game. Don’t brag? 】
[WE can’t beat LZ, it still depends on the performance of RNG and Gou Ye]
[I am a UZI fan. To be honest, the anchor is very good, but it is still unrealistic to lead EDG, which cannot win even a group match, against LZ.]
The composition of the audience in Ye Tian's live broadcast room is extremely complex. A large part is starch and piglets, a small part is Ye Tian's own fans, as well as passers-by and HZ and GSL who previously applied for cards to enter the fan club lottery. The direction of the barrage has always been chaotic.
but.
These HZ and GSL who applied for cards have been in Ye Tian's live broadcast room for a long time, and they are showing signs of being influenced, and they no longer open their mouths and spray like they did at the beginning.
They dress the same as ordinary people.
He felt that Ye Tian was going to be in trouble, so he jumped out to mock a few words, or brag about RNG and UZI.
"What does blowing mean?!"
Ye Tian deliberately held back his breath, turned his face a little red, and put on an angry look: "Let me tell you, if the anchor says he won't lose a game, he won't lose a game. Isn't he just a LZ? Isn't he just a Khan? ? Isn’t it just a 1v4 with Jace? The anchor chooses Lucian and kills him like a dog!”
[laughing to death]
【Do you believe this? 】
[Lucian, what else do you generally have?]
[Don’t be a dog all day long, the dog will enter the bird’s nest, and you will go home in the top eight]
[It doesn’t matter how you jump in the competition area. When it comes to the World Championships, UZI doesn’t even have to look at you]
【Fight with Khan? Do you really think that you can be qualified to play B in front of Khan just because you tortured a few useless top laners? 】
[EDG will be gone in four days. Some people can only go home and broadcast live. Don’t not broadcast the World Championship just because you want to save face. That is a huge amount of traffic]
[I really want to see how someone broadcasts the game after being eliminated. Why does time pass so slowly! 】
[Whoever is eliminated and does not broadcast the team in the same division is not worthy of being Chinese]
The barrage flashed violently.
"Yes, that's right!"
Ye Tian suppressed his blushes a little more: "Whoever is eliminated and doesn't broadcast the teams in the same division or commentate on the game, who just doesn't want to see the LPL team advance, is not worthy of being Chinese!"
This sentence aroused the echo of either the fun people or the blockbusters of HZ and GSL.
Ye Tian bit the tip of his tongue to hold back laughter and saved the screen recording, preparing to hand it over to the EDG logistics team for processing after it was broadcast.
Next.
Ye Tian skipped this topic.
I started talking to the audience about version 7.18 used in the World Finals.
In addition to some commonplace content, Ye Tian also carefully prepared several remarks that sounded reasonable but were actually misleading - for example, the weapon master is not only strong enough in the split push, but can also rely on the E skills [Counterattack Storm] and Tank heroes can also fight against the common attack AD that is prevalent in the Incense Burner version; Gem Knight's group invincibility is particularly strong, and after defeating a round of ultimate moves, there is no follow-up team battle system.
And with the help of the great devil Faker's reputation, I highly recommend Ryze who has enhanced the W profit coefficient.
Highlight how someone deceives people.
These things can be accomplished in theory, and experiments in Rank and training matches have a high success rate, but if a team takes it out against EDG...
hey-hey!
Then there will be a good show!
Arrived in Guangzhou more than four hours later, walked out of the high-speed rail station, hailed three taxis and rushed to the officially arranged hotel.
After verifying his identity and checking in, Ye Tian put away his luggage, rubbed his face briefly, walked into the training room prepared in advance with an energy drink, and landed on the top of the canyon for Rank.
Mainly using AD heroes like Lucian, Skate Shoes and even Vayne as top laners.
During this period, I actually met Khan once.
Khan also accidentally took out Jace.
Ye Tianhou chose Lucian. As soon as they met, he fired an insidious soldier-piercing Q, which consumed Khan's health. He then used his soldiers to block a light cannon. He was hit in the face by Khan's hammer without any panic. After exchanging a set of skills, he grabbed two Level, start crossing the line and crushing people.
Level three, forcing Khan out of the experience zone.
Send a large wave of soldiers to the Khan Tower, forming an absolute suppression of level 4 with full health against level 3 with half health. Ye Tian hit Khan with an explosive combo of W, E, Q, and dots, completing a single kill over the tower!
First blood is obtained.
Ye Tian returned to the city and took out two long swords.
When you see Khan again, if you fight him, you will lose half of his health!
Seeing how fiercely the top lane was playing, the jungler wisely ran over to help. Within five minutes, Khan had to hide in the grass between the two defense towers to check his mobile phone.
In six minutes, Ye Tian completed his second tower jump by virtue of his level 6 versus level 4 attributes.
In eight minutes, he played one set first, forcing Khan to use his full set of skills. R [Baptism of the Holy Spear] swept up the damage and achieved his third solo kill!
Twelve minutes later, both midfielders and junglers gathered on the top lane. Ye Tian, with the help of his Galio and Prince, scored three kills, and the kill came to 6-0!
[Khan, this Jace is not good either, he was directly beaten to death by Brother Tian]
[Why is the hero bragging about restraint] [Restraint? Why don't you choose Lucian and I choose Jace? 】
[My power is two and three, but it’s not that easy for Lucian to beat Jace. Jace’s explosion was too high, and Lucian was killed accidentally]
[Rank is useless no matter how you play, you can’t be selected in the competition]
[The main reason is that the rest of EDG are too useless, so other teams don’t need to target their bans]
[It’s such a pity to draw lots for the top eight this time. If he hadn’t met LZ, Brother Tian would definitely have entered the semi-finals and the finals]
[Zhuzai, please stop it. Do you only want to fight a civil war? Is it disgusting? 】
[Does a dog still have the nerve to bark when he brags? Excluding the civil war, what achievements does your dog have in bathing? 】
Although Ye Tian did not broadcast live, OB anchors on all major platforms were watching Ye Tian's popularity, making this ranking fall into the eyes of many interested people.
Especially the LZ team.
To put it bluntly, the S7 season, especially the version of the Censer Monster used in the 7.18 World Championship, is actually not suitable for long-hand laners.
On the one hand, the S7 does not have a plating mechanism and lacks a large part of the economy. If you want to achieve a crushing advantage, you must engage in high-risk behaviors such as laning people, jumping over towers to kill, or even jumping over towers to cut off troops.
It’s great to be successful.
Failure means collapse.
Lucian, who can't snowball and win quickly, won't necessarily lose ash when he touches the tank hero.
Another aspect is that the old Pan Sen in the S7 season has not been reworked yet. Strong teams usually do not choose such off-the-charts heroes who have no system and are useless after 20 minutes, but weak teams are helpless after being single-clicked by the long hand. , it is really possible for a crazy old Pan Sen to come out and explode with each other.
LZ originally felt that there was no need to ban Lucian. EDG, a newcomer who didn't know the world, dared to choose, so let him choose.
But as Khan was beaten... we had to weigh it carefully.
As the No. 1 seed in the LCK, one of the best super teams in the world, and with the undisputed number one top laner in the world, Khan, LZ cannot do anything like choosing Pan Sen for Khan. After all, Khan is in the LZ team. His importance is not much less than that of Ye Tian in EDG. He is the team leader in an absolute sense.
So.
Should we pay for a class that we thought was unnecessary, or should we let Khan take the risk?
"Ban Lucian."
Hirai, the 34-year-old LZ head coach, prefers stability: "EDG poses no threat to us except on the road. There is no problem in banning Qinggangying, Lucian, and Kalista in the first round - we It was originally planned to be one of the Ban Xia Luo, to avoid being taken by the red side. If not, choose one from the blue side on the first floor, and the effect will be the same.”
"Fan Xian (Gorilla), do you think it's okay?"
"I use everything the same." Gorilla was confident: "Isn't that Meiko in EDG's bottom lane going to be the new number one assistant named M? I will tell him with facts that the era of assistants named M is over!"
"Actually, you should have been among the top four supports for a long time. Except for Madlife and Mata, the other two M's were made up by force." Pary, the first-generation rat king, complained about his partner: "This World Championship is the time for you to clear your name."
"It's time for you to clear your name, isn't it?" Gorilla responded.
Finished.
The two elders Xuan Ming looked at each other and laughed contentedly.
…
EDG training room.
In addition to deliberately releasing smoke and collecting videos to cause trouble, Ye Tian's more important thing is to lead the logistics team to study the matches in the group stage, not letting go of every detail that needs attention.
This is what professional teams must do.
Some inferior coaches and analysts only know how to speak with data.
A high winning rate is the son of the version, a low winning rate is a version trap, dying in the laning phase means the early stage is not good, a low damage conversion rate means that the economy is useless, etc...
There is some truth to these theories, but not entirely.
It is said that trusting all the books is worse than having no books at all.
It’s better to trust the data than not to look at the data at all.
Blindly matching the lineup based on the winning rate shown in the data will inevitably lead to an ugly death.
Especially in the World Championship.
The saying "There are no underdogs in the World Championship" is largely due to the fact that everyone is not familiar with it. Strong teams cannot respond well to the well-prepared trump cards of weak teams, so there will be overturning in small games.
For example, the LMS division will compete against the Korean team every time in the World Championship, and some teams will continue to evolve in battle after battle, achieving the effect of being reborn and breaking the audience's inherent impression.
but.
Let these surprises go.
Just talk about the comparison of hard power during the group stage.
The difference between strong teams and weak teams is still quite obvious.
The heroes used by strong teams, even if they are purely for trouble training like LZ, have a very high winning rate.
Even if the heroes used by the weak teams fit the version very well, the winning rate will not increase.
Therefore, the strength and adaptability of a hero depends not only on the data, but also on the IDs of both parties and the specific performance in the game.
Only by studying these can you avoid traps, get heroes that are easy to win the game, and design some targeted Ban/Pick and special routines that other teams will not expect.
“The priority of female police officers must be raised.”
Ye Tian made a decision one after another the night before the quarter-finals: "Small cannons are not easy to play well in the lane. The bonus of E skill has been reduced by 0.5. The upper limit of the tower demolition speed is higher than that of the policewoman. The actual combat effect is not good." It must be better than the policewoman, and the policewoman’s clip is very useful in resource groups and pushing towers, and the threat of [headshot] in the later stage is also very intuitive.”
"I must pick an offensive hero on the road, and Scout must be more front-line and functional."
"In terms of support, Meiko no longer needs to be retained. Since your hard support is better than the soft support now, take out the hard support when playing LZ!"
EDG's main style of play in this summer split is around ganking and tower overtaking in the bottom lane.
Meiko naturally needs to use easy-to-cooperate assists such as Braum, Lao Niu, and Thresh, so that the proficiency of Feng Nu and Lulu is relatively average.
Entering the Incense Burner monster version, you have to use soft assistants, and your personal abilities are naturally weakened.
After Ye Tian's guidance, EDG discovered that hard support can also help AD heroes obtain the incense burner bonus through some special means. In this way, the tactical system of the summer split does not have to be completely overturned, which invisibly increases the team's strength.
"good."
Meiko nodded.
Using soft-assisted mutual consumption, Meiko can’t say it’s better than Gorilla.
Use hard aid to flush your face...
Gorilla?
Just wait to be beaten!
"Mingkai, your newly trained hero is not suitable for playing yet. Once you get familiar with it, you can first use it as a regular jungler."
Ye Tian continued to arrange: "I have established an advantage in the top lane and will radiate the advantage into the jungle. You must change your scavenging habit and enter the LZ jungle to eat meat!"
"What is scavenging?!" The factory director said angrily: "At most, I eat grass, but this time I will eat meat!"
"Blow them up, blow them up!" Iboy waved his fist.
After everyone in EDG listened to Ye Tian's arrangement, and then thought about the analysis and discussions in the past few days, they went from thinking that they had no chance of winning when they first drew LZ and just wanted to show off their style, to becoming somewhat confident of winning.
Since the game time is 4pm.
In order to ensure the best condition, EDG pushed back the usual 11 o'clock wake-up time by three hours, and did not get up until 2 o'clock in the afternoon to wash up.
I simply ate for five minutes to be full to prevent too much blood from pouring into my stomach and causing my brain to become dizzy. I also brought some chocolate, chestnuts, bananas and other energy-supplementing foods. After everything was ready, I boarded the bus and rushed to the main venue.
Guangzhou Stadium is located at the foothills of Baiyun Mountain, with a total construction area of more than 70,000 square meters. The shell-shaped main stadium can accommodate nearly 20,000 people watching the game at the same time.
only.
Compared to the crowds in the group stage.
In this quarter-final, the number of spectators who bought tickets was not particularly large.
After all the spectators entered the venue, the director's camera looked around and saw that some seats were empty. The number of spectators was only about a quarter of EDG's final group stage.
In this case, it is obvious that the vast majority of the audience feels that EDG will be easily eliminated by the most dominant LZ team, and it is not worth spending money to watch a game that is destined to be disappointing.
On some websites that predict the outcome, the probability of LZ defeating EDG has been pushed to 90% or even 95%. It can be seen that EDG's dark history of being an insider in civil war and an outsider in foreign war has left a deep impression on players.
There is no banner announcement for this game in the League of Legends client.
It wasn't until 4 o'clock in the afternoon that a small live broadcast window popped up in the lower right corner of the client.
The commentators are not the most popular "Haier Brothers" group, but the relatively fringe Husband, Wang Duoduo, and the old royal player Shenchao, whose live broadcast popularity is pitifully low.
"Sure enough, no one believes we will win..."
Ye Tian stretched and slowly stood up from the sofa: "Let's go, it's time to surprise the world!"
